Vitamin D deficiency linked to cancer, heart problems

With recent studies claiming that vitamin D deficiency is leading to chronic health problems such as cancer and heart ailments, Health Canada has decided to review how much of this nutrient is needed every day by an average Canadian who doesn’t get enough of it from sunshine - its most natural source.

Some Canadian health organisations have even claimed that the lack of vitamin D is leading to heart problems, cancer, and multiple sclerosis.

In fact, the Canadian Cancer Society and the Canadian Pediatric Society have gone to the extent of prescribing up to ten times bigger doses of vitamin D than the current standard recommended by Health Canada.
